On Fire | 11.25.14

onfire

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we at On Fire have a lot to be thankful for. As the semester winds to a close, much has happened in the world of sports and the world of Emory. In between stuffing face with turkey, sleeping for days afterwards in a tryptophan-induced coma and vegetating in front of the big screen for hours on end while watching football, your On Fire correspondent wants to recognize several things he (or she) is thankful for this holiday season.

Snuggies

Your On Fire correspondent enjoys the feeling of warmth. Snuggies provide warmth. 'Nuff said.

Atlanta Sports Teams (Not in the playoffs)

Ah, Atlanta. Never has your On Fire correspondent been more consistently disappointed with someone or something than the time he (or she) was stood up for a date at Dunkin' Donuts on New Years Day. At least we aren't Chicago.

Whiskey

As a Southern Gentleman (or Gentlewoman), there is nothing more enjoyable than the smooth burn of a nice, legal, sip of Jack Daniel's.

Todd Gurley

God bless you, Gurley, for literally running over the competition only to be sidelined by the NCAA, then coming back to be sidelined with an injury. #FreeGurley

Loyal Readers

Without you, oh loyal readers of On Fire, this column would not exist. Though the subjects and seriousness may range from issue to issue, you have shown a deep level of commitment that can only be found in a special breed of person.

Kanye

With Yeezus Season approaching, let us give thanks to the lyrical mastermind who reminds us that he is a god, but also graces us with poetic lines like "Close your eyes and let the word paint a thousand pictures."

Mascot Names That Aren't Culturally Insensitive

Yeah, Redskins, you still suck.

The News Team

Just kidding, screw News.
